Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 5 Chapter 2: War comes as promised

Because of Ying's announcement, Joshua quickly learned about Munster's arrival.

"Weird thing, I have something to do with me? But isn't there already a teleport network in the Northland? He can use spells to notify me in the imperial capital, where he needs to see him on the spot."

Somewhat puzzled to himself, the soldier didn't care about such trivial matters. He stopped his work and went to the meeting room downstairs to meet this old acquaintance.

After a while, he greeted the good news that Munster had brought from the imperial capital not far away.

It was a commendation order from the royal family.

"this is?"

With raised eyebrows, Joshua curiously picked up the medal with the sun emblem and represented the imperial royal family. He looked sideways at the vicissitudes of life, the middle-aged inspector who was drinking tea, waiting for the other's explanation.

"Because some confidential matters are involved and cannot be fanned out, the royal family did not send a special mission to grant you this honor."

But it was obvious that Munster would be wrong about Joshua's meaning. He put down his teacup and began to explain other things in detail: "The North is too far away from the imperial capital, and few people have met you. Your lord, you are fairly familiar, so while your Majesty has given me the task of patrolling the north and north of the empire, let me send these to you."

Having said this, he looked at the warrior with admiration: "This is the first time I have seen the group of high-ranking wizards in the Royal Mage Association show that expression. It feels like travellers in the desert who have been short of water for a week. The look when you saw the oasis, Lord Earl, what did you send them?"

"I said, why didn't you send it here? It turned out to be on the way during the tour... What did you send? I didn't ask this, I asked what medal it was."

After repeating what he said, and thinking about it for a while, Joshua guessed the reason. He touched his chin and hesitated and said, "Could it be the mad dragon mist sent over last time? Speaking of which, I haven't heard the follow-up of the Haiyuan token, but looking at it now, all the rewards are combined and sent."

The bottled black mist he found in the dragon’s nest last time has been verified by the system to be a high-purity mad dragon virus with a clear tendency to chaos. The creatures infected by it—any creature, not just dragons— -Will be mad, and gradually transformed into chaotic family members.

Although the conversion success rate is very low, even less than one in a thousand, even madness is dangerous enough. Joshua knew that she did not have the ability to deal with this thing, so she simply borrowed Brandon’s relationship and gave it away. Join the Royal Mage Association and let the group of wizards who live in the laboratory almost always try to find a way to crack it.

Qiao Xiuya didn't report any expectations. After all, he had never heard of crazy dragon vaccines and other things in his previous life, but now based on the rewards he received, he was afraid that the development might not have been successful.

"The original body of Crazy Dragon Disease? That's how it is, so it makes sense."

On the side, Munster suddenly realized, and then he began to explain the origin of the badge in his hand for Joshua.

"The imperial royal family uses the sun as their coat of arms, and the medal you are holding now, called the Dawn Emblem, is the highest level of honor that nobles can get. It represents your indelible contribution to the entire empire."

Speaking of this, Munster even bowed to this emblem. He said to Joshua with emotion on his face: "Maybe you don’t know, Lord Joshua, the items you sent will be brought to the Royal Mage Association. It was a great inspiration. As far as I know, they have developed a finished medicine through this, which can make the various types of earth travel dragons commonly used by the dragon car caravan immune to mad dragon disease, if it is a relatively mild madness , It can even be lifted directly."

Sure enough, a countermeasure was developed. The warrior nodded slightly. This is indeed good news. With this kind of medicine that can suppress mad dragon disease, then at least there is no need to worry about the sudden violent riots of pets or domestic animals around, especially the earth travel dragon. At this time, flying The airboat has not yet been successfully developed. The dragon cart caravan is the main artery of the empire's trade. If the caravan is paralyzed, let alone, where does the Northland import fruits and grains and some other specialties?

"Now, the empire is fully prepared to prevent the dragon disaster, and will never lose most of the important coastal port cities like the Far Southern Kingdom that was raided."

Munster is still going on, he looks very excited: "And a few days ago, the elves and the messengers of the Far South royal family were received in Morlai Palace. They seem to be in urgent need of our medicine..."

When he got here, the middle-aged censor suddenly said nothing. He shrugged and signaled that this was a confidential incident, but without Munster, Joshua could also guess that the empire must be ruthless in this matter. He knocked a lot of money, otherwise, the imperial emperor wouldn't be happy to even put on a medal for himself.

No wonder, I just did a small amount of work, how did I get the emblem of the dawn, which is known as the highest glory? The reason is all here.

Next, there was nothing to say, Munster said that he would go to inspect the other three of the four leaders in the north, and Joshua also sent him out of the lord's mansion, and he disappeared into the corner of the street.

Before leaving, the inspector did not forget to remind the soldiers that they must remember to participate in the celebration banquet in the imperial capital in early April. As the day to celebrate the complete elimination of the orcs, it might evolve into an annual festival, even if it is a festival. The two dukes of the land will go to celebrate that day. In fact, basically the high-levels of the entire empire will go to the imperial capital. If you don't want to be incompatible freaks, it is better to go there.

Of course, Qiao Xiuya will not forget this. He is definitely going to the imperial capital. Recently, the territory has been peaceful, and the old dwarf has temporarily returned to Heigang Town. The improved version of the magic armor has been determined by the design. He plans to produce hundreds of sets for the dwarves who dig tunnels to use first to see the results.

There is no paladin to study with him, and no old dwarf to study magic skills with him. Joshua can only do nothing, and is very leisurely every day. As for the dragon disaster, he wants to spread from other places to the dragon’s nest which has been wiped out. In the North, it will take more than half a year to say nothing. There is no need to think about it. Now, in addition to participating in the celebration banquet, he also plans to see the prestigious Warcraft auction in the Imperial Capital, buy a few gold-level monsters, and complete it by the way. Intentional trial task.

As for the emblem of the dawn... Joshua is not a real noble in his heart. He doesn't care about these so-called glory, and even from a system perspective, this badge only adds to indifferent aspects such as prestige and charm. Success, for the fighter, because it is impossible to change his negative twenty charm back to a positive number anyway, it is quite tasteless. After thinking about it, Qiao Xiu put it in his own collection room and let it accompany it with the Flame Double Snake Ring and the strange [Shard of Burning Steel].

Back in the study, Joshua continued to deal with official duties. He was watching the information of the Far Southern Kingdom dealing with the Dragon Disaster, but he naturally continued.

Due to the fact that Kleel was a comrade-in-arms in his previous life, Joshua paid great attention to the information of Far South. Although in the previous life, the elves did not suffer much loss in the dragon blight by relying on the defense of their Qunsen fortress. It does not mean that they are really safe. In fact, warriors know that many small and medium-sized elven villages and towns have been destroyed by crazy dragons and slaughtered. In the face of crazy dragons, humans and elves are no different.

After confirming that the Windsong clan where the Elf Druid belongs is a large elven group, the warrior is relieved a lot. He began to pay attention to the information of the Far Southern Kingdom. In the previous life, he personally participated in it, but now it is from the onlookers. Point of view.

——Starfall 833, March 12th, Ruhr City, the last coastal city of the Far South Kingdom, was turned into fly ash by a raging fire, and no grass was left wherever the dragons passed, and countless beasts were driven away by the dragon. , And even formed a wave of beasts rushing northward.

Fortunately, most people in the occupied areas have been evacuated urgently and saved their lives, but millions of people have left their homes. The food, shelter, and various materials they need are so large, even if they have always been wealthy. The Far Southern Kingdom is also unbearable. In the cities around Nanling where refugees gather, local riots have already occurred due to lack of food. Under the deliberate instigation of some rioters, this riot is gradually spreading.

For a country, compared to the terrible dragon calamity, the turbulent hearts of the people are even more terrifying.

And Joshua knew that this was just the beginning.

The dragon calamity in the past life brought more than just wars. It also completely shattered the trust of some people at the bottom of the high-levels of the Far Southern Kingdom. With countless people being displaced and leaving their homes, most people who lack food and clothing will not. Seriously thinking about the cause of the disaster and understanding the difficulties of the kingdom, they will only blindly blame the high-level inaction, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent split.

The news of the fall of Ruhr reached the Far Southern Capital on the same day. Fortunately, the army of the Far Southern Kingdom has also been reorganized. The allied forces composed of local nobles and the central government have set off from the Boddington Fortress and voluntarily wiped out several branches. The flying dragon clusters heading towards the Nanling refugee gathering place, but this can't reverse the bad situation, and can only try to maintain the line of defense.

On the 13th, traces of several iron-scaled dragons were found in the Silent Forest. This was originally a very docile omnivorous primitive dragon, known for its hard scales, but after the fierce violence, they became completely It turned into a killing machine, and there was not half a living thing left in the land it passed, and even the trees were gnawed away. Although they were wiped out by the elves the next day, they also caused great losses.

On the 15th, the business alliance in the south was also attacked by the dragon group. They did not expect that the scale of the dragon disaster was so large that they suffered a lot of losses in the early stage. Several coastal trading cities were attacked by the sea sword dragon group. , Hundreds of merchant ships sank on the route they had traveled thousands of times, and the envoys of the Far South royal family also returned from the north.

On the 19th, the first large-scale battle between the alliance of the kingdoms and the dragons began on the Grammar Plain. Because of the Kuroshio, the human army has a wealth of experience in dealing with this large beast~www.novelmtl.com~ with the help of building on the spot. Contained by the fortress of the city and the Earth Xinglong taking the mad dragon anti-agent, the coalition forces eliminated tens of thousands of flying dragons at a very small cost.

On the 22nd, based on several large cities in the central part, the Far South Kingdom established an iron barrel-like defense line to completely separate the occupied area from the safe area. The war temporarily fell into a stable stage, and the high level of the kingdom began. Make every effort to eliminate the incitement of the riots hidden among the refugees.

However, the rioters who were obviously chaos believers were well hidden, and this time the clearing was fruitless. Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help frowning.

The whole dragon calamity can be said to be the conspiracy of the chaos believers. They are to meet the conditions for the coming of the evil god, so they have spent hundreds of years of preparations, and even intend to instigate refugees to destroy the stability of the rear. From the perspective of the fighters, The cleaning efforts of the Far South Kingdom were really not enough. They paid too much attention to the dragons and did not pay much attention to the refugees.

It is now 833 years. On March 27th, a new round of battle reports has not yet been sent, but history is still advancing. Nowadays, it is not just the Far South, but dragon disasters of varying intensity have broken out across the mainland, even This is the case in the Northern Empire on the other side of the world, and only the Northland where the dragon's nest has been wiped out is still peaceful. Although there are occasional frantic beasts and dragons, they are not large in groups.

But now, it's just the calm before the storm.

Joshua turned his head and looked at the huge map of the world behind him, condensing his gaze to the south.

The war has come as promised. (To be continued.)
